Live, Love, Laugh!

I have some news that I wanted to share but before I shared it online I wanted to share it with my family. Awhile back now I met a wonderful man-his name is Adil and you can say this he is my man! I have loved getting to know him, and everything about him. He sent me some pictures of a recent trip where he was part of a camp forv youth in Morocco. Adil has now had the chance to get to know my mom and sister a wee bit so now I am sharing him with you all.

We have been so very busy here in Nova Scotia I hadnt had the chance to uopdate here.

 

 

First we have been hit with lots of rain while we have been here. I want some sun please! Well we actually got it for the weekend and that is what counted right!

One eveing last weekend we drove out to Caribou Point. There is a beautiful lighthouse there and you can watch the sunset over the ocean. It is a very beutiful spot. It was breath taking to watch. Makes you appreciate nature even more.

 

We also finally got Roo to a ocean beach on Saturday. That was alot of fun even if the water was very very COLD! We went in! WE also went Rock and shell hunting. That was fun and Roo is bringing home a baggie of each. Where we were was very private and it was as if you owned a piece of heaven. It was another beautiful spot.

 

On Sunday we drove into Halifax. Our first stop of day was my sister's hair salon at Dartmoth Crossing, we got to have lunch with her and my one neice and then it was off to thier house to pick up the other niece for an afternoon at the Busker's Festival. It was wall to wall people along the wharf but Roo got to have fun, and so did y niece. Then we went back to my sisters where we all gathered for a very nice chinesse dinner. After dinner we decided to go up to our old neighbourhood and have ice cream at Dairy Queen. Roo had her first Blizzard! Then it was back to my sisters to relax.

 

On Monday the whole gang of us got in a car and the truck and we headed up to Dollar Lake for a day of swimming and a family barbeque. It was great just to spend the day hanging out together. It was beautiful and fun but we all got a bit too much sun!

 

Today we are back at my mom's, she is exhausted so today is a quieter day. Rest is much needed! The trip is going really well.

 

 

Today Mom wasn't feeling well, so Roo and I went on our own adventure. We went into the town of Pictou and went to the Hector Heritage Quay. We visited the Muesem and then went aboard the Hector( an old ship that brought settlers to New Scotland). It was cool to learn about the hstory of the Hector and Pictou. Who knew it was such an important port? After that Roo and I took a stroll along the mail street of Pictou. I love this little town. Roo bought some soveniers and we checked out  some of the shops, but you could sure tell you were in a tourist area when looking at the prices. After our day out I came home and made dinner- spaghetti and meatballs with salad and garlic bread. I also premade a meatloaf that we will have for dinner on Wednesday. Tonight it is a eveing of relaxing at my mother's.

Today was a quieter day on our trip as my mom is still recovering from being very ill earlier this year and tires so very quickly. Personally I think having a ten year old around all day is hard on her. So today Roo helped with a yard sale that they had here and then we feed the horses. We also did a puzzle and played darts in the lounge.I am so very tired as well-maybe it is all the fresh air. Tonight we went to the General Store for icecream cones. A quieter day but a good one.

Today mom's neighbour Garnet took Mom, Roo and me to Five Islands and to the Bay of Fundy. This bay has the World's Largest Tides! When we got there this morning the tide was out and you could see fishing boats on the sand. After taking a peek of where the tide was we headed for lunch and then took Roo to Parrsboro to the Geological Muesem there. Roo was able to check out all the rocks and even see a few dinosaur fossils. She even painted a ceramic one. After that we headed to one of the beaches. Roo,Garnet, Opal and I took a walk out into the bay as the tide was just beginning to come back in. Roo loved looking for shells. We even found some crabs! She loved seeing everything in its natual habitat. After our time in the Bay we visited with Garnet's family who lives nearby and then it was time to head back to Mom's. We are home here this eveing.
